This reminds me of working with a company that provided market-wide pricing data for a particular commodity across the US. They were the de facto aggregator of pricing for the sector and at the time I worked for one of their larger customers. We requested they add another vendor’s pricing in a particular region and received a response along the lines of “Sure, as soon as we can figure out how to add another entry. We’re at the maximum row count on the system.”

Needless to say it gave my team a few days of flabbergast and speculation on what system they must have built on to hit a row limit at only 5 digits. And yet for a non-tech industry it was mostly working.
